And we're off!

In January I was given the opportunity to be a stay-at-home Mom (AKA: laid off from my job).  We pulled our son from daycare and cancelled our daughter's after-school care to save money while I look for a job.  My initial thought was "think of all the things I'll get done around the house, and special projects I'll finally have time to complete".  Needless to say, I don't know where all the "extra time" I thought I would have went, but it definitely did not stay at my house!

Thankfully,  I have an able God, wonderful friends, and a great church family that are helping me navigate this new world - from couponing and living on a single-income to home management and just plain keeping my sanity.  What would I ever do without my support system?

Some days I feel like I work harder and get less accomplished now than I did when I was working a 40+ hour week outside the home.  This ain't easy!!  So, I'll use this blog to share wisdom that is shared with me (I'm definitely not generating this stuff!), and try to make someone else's Daily Grind a little easier and brighter, too!

Let's journey together!
